Lotus racing club...

"Rubbing is racing" was never more apparent or true. This man must have either cojones made of steel, or just no fear.

Wooow, that is some skill right there. That takes some balls. Those are REAL cars, not some fiberglass wrapped steel tubes shaped like cars.

Woo Yeah, Wooo!

Go the Aussies!

That seems to be the Elise Cup (or something similar), they were driving at Mt. Panorama - Australia's legendary battlefield between Ford and Holden.

Battlefield? Holden own that place.

Edit: I watched the video, The driver did a really goog job particularly across the skyline and through the esses's where he overtook several cars. Must have been Skaifey.

Interesting you say that. The Elise has a fibreglass body, no?

Talk about irony.

Must have been Skaifey.

Umm...it says the driver was Dean Evans. The same Dean Evans, the journo from MOTOR Magazine?

I am not Attaus, and I was being sarcastic. Just a little mention of skaifes dominance at the mountain in the last decade.

Mmm..he's only won 3 times in the past decade, but Greg Murphy has won 4.

O.o

He has also won 5 times in total, Greg Murphy has only won 4. I just wanted to mention a well known successful driver. If I was going by victries I would have mentioned either Peter Brock (9 wins), Jim Richards (8 wins), or Larry Perkins (6 wins)-all in a commodore.

Seeing as you said "skaifes dominance at the mountain in the last decade", I went by wins. And it's obvious that G. Murphy has had more wins than Skaife in the past decade.

Yes, but people from overseas are more likely to have heard of Skaife-seeing as he has actually won several championships and smurphs hasnt won squat other than bathursts.

Holden own the mountain, end of story.

Maybe.

But going by Wiki articles, Skaife has a shorter article than Murphy's.

Skaife also is the team principle/owner of the largest V8 supercar franchise, features in the book 'Top 50 touring car drivers of all time' of which Peter Brock is rated number 2.

Skaife was also involved in the most controversial race in Australian motorsport history, effectively making him better known.

Greg Murphy is a Kiwi and has a funny New Zealand accent, effectively making him better known.

ferrarikid (an ignant username for someone in their mom's Corolla); if you think he didn't touch anyone, I pray you NEVER get a driver's license.

^Thank you...someone see's that he's tapped alooot of people.

Ok, he hit a red one early on, tapped it's bumper under braking, slid to it's right (inside line, bumped a yellow one on the side doing so)...Clips the back right corner of a black one while it was braking and then kept his left front bumper on it through the corner...Right after that he passed on the right, HIT THE WALL, bounced of said concrete wall, and into the (I'm going from memory here) yellow elise he was passing on the left (to his left). Which eventually became his place on the track...Finally, now that the track opened up he doesn't hit anyone else, but he cuts a corner by going off track on the esses...

It was clear he tapped a lot of people, he really tapped the yellow one he tried to pass on the right. It looked almost like the threw the yellow car out of the way when he clipped it. Crazy Racing.
